“O'Brien Metal is a perfect example of a small company that can behave like a massive company by using these digital tools. We see that in the digital world all the time, and this is what is going to happen in the manufacturing sector.”

From Design to Solution

Digital 3D modeling was used to accurately fabricate the pattern for this cast aluminum table base. The need for precision was influenced by the structural properties of the design. Tight tolerances for the radii had to be kept in order for the base to properly support its loads.

3D printing was used to precisely fabricate the pattern for the incredibly intricate jewelry quality detail of a custom luxury side table. The 3D print allows the ornament to be meticulously exact for replication and consistency.
